- Soothe a fussy, crying baby and help them sleep through the night
- Relax and lower stress after a long day
- Focus better and add privacy at work or while studying
- Ease headaches and migraines

WHITE NOISE REVIEWS
What people are saying
Love it!! No longer need melatonin nor caffeine!
have not been able to sleep well for a very long time, as a result of mental health issues… I needed help, and my doctor/neighbor/friend recommened this app. I had tried other white noise apps before, but none really worked. This was not the case for this app! I can sleep longer and less fitfully without drugs. I wake up feeling refreshed to some degree. The best part- it’s free!!! 10/10, would recommend.
Great App!
This app is really great, and it lets you choose from a bunch of different sounds, such as rain, ocean waves, camp fire and many more! If you create mix, you can combine as many sounds as you want to create a really good sound! You can record something out in nature, or something at home if you’re going on a long trip, and if you get sick of the sounds they have, there’s a website where you can download additional sounds put up by the community completely for free! I’m gonna stop now, cause I sound like a commercial. 10/10 would white noise again!
Puts me to sleep every night
“Be sure to get the White Noise Market app if you get this, with both of them you have the best and widest selection of free sounds you can get on apps like these hands down…”
Sleep quality has greatly improved!
This app has really made a difference! I love it! Before downloading this app my sleep quality was really bad. I wasn’t getting enough and whatever rest I did get it was extremely restless rarely was I in REM. I fall asleep with the Brown Noise and for the last week and half…I have been feeling super great! I don’t wake up groggy. I feel so refreshed in the mornings now. I feel and see the difference! Thank you White Noise! Thank you!
If you like to sleep…
After 3 hrs of my baby nonstop crying because he fights his sleep & momma wasn’t getting any sleep my husband took him to the bathroom and turned the faucet (a tip from his pediatrician) and he instantly fell out! So I did some research and found this app. Thank god, if not for this app our water bill would’ve made us homeless. I am able to sleep train with it and it also puts my husband to sleep which is a plus! Now my baby knows what time it is when he hears “heavy rain” and it’s convenient because you can use your phone normal while it’s on.
I can finally sleep
Great free sound choices. Brown noise and airplane are my favorite. I have constant sleep issues and can NEVER nap no matter how tired I am. These sounds help me sleep so much better and I’ve even started to take naps using them. Ahhhh. So nice… If you travel internationally on long flights you’ll know exactly the sound and vibe I mean. So soothing.
Frequently asked questions
Is the White Noise app free?
Yes. White Noise Lite is completely free on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, and Windows. If you’d like to remove ads and unlock extra features, you can pay a small one-time fee—there’s no subscription required, ever.
Is there a subscription?
No. We don’t think sleep should come with a monthly bill. Use the free app, or pay once to remove ads and unlock more. You own it for good.
What’s the difference between Lite, Full, and Pro?
Lite is free with 50 sounds, the recorder, mix pad, and background audio. Full removes ads and adds 20+ alarms, home-screen widgets, and Apple Watch and TV support. Pro gives you brand-new 50 HD full-stereo sounds with all the generator tools included–binaural beats, tone generator, and noise generator. All three versions can download thousands of free sounds from White Noise Market.
What’s the difference between white, pink, and brown noise?
White noise is even across all frequencies—a steady hiss like a fan, great for masking sudden sounds. Pink noise is softer and deeper, like steady rain. Brown noise is the deepest, a low rumble many people love for sleep. The app includes all of them, plus gray, blue, and violet, so you can find what works for you.
Does White Noise work offline, without using data?
Yes. Every sound plays locally from your device, so the app works in airplane mode and never uses your cellular data.
Can I use White Noise to help my baby sleep?
Absolutely—it’s one of the most common reasons people use it. Steady sounds like heavy rain or a fan can calm a fussy baby and help them sleep through the night. We even make a dedicated White Noise Baby app.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android phones and tablets, Mac, Windows PC, Apple TV, and Android TV. Your sounds and mixes travel with you across all of them.
Can I add my own sounds or download more?
Yes. Browse 50,000+ free sounds in White Noise Market, or record and perfectly loop your own with the built-in recorder. You can even share your recordings with the White Noise community.
Will it keep playing all night?
Yes. Audio plays continuously with no gaps and no ads interrupting, for as long as you want—until a timer you set gently fades it out.
